UCLA Settles $6M Civil Rights Lawsuit Over Campus Protest Restrictions
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has agreed to a $6 million settlement with three Jewish students and a Jewish professor following a lawsuit alleging the university violated their civil rights by allowing pro-Palestinian protesters in 2024 to block their access to campus facilities. This settlement follows a landmark preliminary injunction and a federal investigation that found UCLA acted with deliberate indifference, creating a hostile environment for Jewish students during protests linked to the Gaza conflict. As part of the settlement, UCLA also committed over $2 million to Jewish organizations combating antisemitism, including Chabad of UCLA, and implemented new system-wide protest guidelines. The Trump administration joined the lawsuit, signaling a broader federal effort to address antisemitism on college campuses, paralleling a $200 million settlement by Columbia University in a related case. The university and law enforcement faced criticism for their handling of violent altercations during the protests, which involved counterprotesters and led to numerous injuries and arrests. UCLA has expressed commitment to ensuring a safe and non-hostile environment for all students, including those of Jewish faith.
